Eczema is a general term for a set of chronic skin conditions caused by inflammation. Atopic dermatitis (AD) is the most common type of eczema, and has been called the "itch that rashes."Eczema can be a very stressful and frustrating condition, and can make living your daily life challenging and uncomfortable. The intense, frequent itch can cause loss of sleep and days off from work, and many children have to miss school days. Eczema is a chronic problem for lots of people – it’s estimated that eczema affects 35 million Americans: 1-3% of adults, and 10-20% of children.
Winter time is absolutely brutal on my skin. My hands are ALWAYS in and out of water. Dishes, bathing children, cleaning, washing hands umpteen times a day....it takes it toll. Another thing that I think makes it even worse is the amount of antibacterial hand gel that I use. It gets so bad this time of year when the weather is cold and the air is dry and my hands are usually cracked 99% of the time. They even bleed. When that happens, washing them becomes painful, getting them wet at all becomes painful and using antibacterial hand gel? On dry hands with cracks? Ouch! Even if I don't get them wet, just doing things like folding laundry catches on my dry skin and they hurt all of the time.
I recently received a free kit to try from the the NEOSPORIN® ESSENTIALS™ line of products. They were actually designed for folks who suffer from Eczema, but are also perfect for those of us who suffer from extremely dry skin.

The NEOSPORIN® ESSENTIALS™ line offers a daily body wash, moisturizing cream and hydrocortisone anti-itch cream.
For my dry skin, I used the daily body wash and moisturizing cream. The Daily Moisturizing Cream contains colloidal oatmeal, which has been used throughout history on the skin. Colloidal oatmeal is the powder from the grinding and processing of whole oat grain.I found that if i started using the cream on the first onsite of dry skin (sensitivity to water) and used it a few times a day that it kept the outbreak at bay. NICE. The cream wasn't sticky and absorbed well.
The daily body wash is safe for the whole family. It is formulated with a lipid, humectant, emollient, and botanical blend and is fragrance-free and contains no soap or antibiotics.It cleanses even the most dry, sensitive skin.
The Hydrocortisone Anti-itch Cream contains a dual-action formula that provides fast relief of itch and that moisturizes to restore visibly healthier skin. It also provides fast itch relief when an eczema flare arises, is linically shown to improve dryness, flaking, and the appearance of redness, and provides maximum strength itch relief due to eczema flare-ups. Like the other products it is fragrance-free and contains no antibiotics.
Do you suffer from winter time dry skin as well? Maybe the NEOSPORIN® ESSENTIALS™ could help you. Feel free to visit the website to learn more.

ReplyDeleteMy skin is like that too! In fact, right now my knuckles are bleeding. Ouch! It gets especially painful when I try to play my violin and the corners of my fingertips are cracked (and I play a lot more in the winter with things like the Nutcracker and the Messiah). In the past I have used neosporin and tiny bandages which seems to help but is a huge pain. I'll have to try this stuff and would love to win it!
ReplyDeleteMy hands get so chapped in the winter! I would love to try a new brand of moisturizing lotion and body wash to combat the dryness!

My husband and all three children suffer from excema. Sure, my hands get dry and sensitive in the winter months too, but nothing compared to the chapped and cracked hands of my son. Everyone in the family could use this great product! egghead96@msn.com
ReplyDeleteMy husband is a Contractor and when he comes home from work his hands are so dry and cracked that they bleed and he always everyday has cuts. he also works with materials that make his skin break out or itch. So this product would be for him. What a nice stocking stuffer this would make.

ReplyDeleteJust had a baby in Ocotber and I am constantly washing my hands when changing her. That and the weather here in AZ has been extremely dry so it is taking a toll on my hands like every winter. My 9 year old said my hands look like a grandmas! Yikes!!

O the itching and the burning!! and scratching until her little legs bleed :( My daughter has suffered from eczema for quite a long time now. We live in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan where it is Winter for 6 months of the year. Very dry climate!!! We have yet to find a cream/lotion that helps initially and long term. I would love to be able to give this a try and maybe she will be able to get relief! Thanks for the chance to win! ablampinen@gmail.com

I would love to try all these products in the kit prior to spending my hard earned cash to find out whether it even works or not. This sounds great and would possibly work fine with my liver disease that cause me much itching in several places but most noticably in my lower legs.
ReplyDeleteThanks

I have crazy sensitive skin. I'm talking allergic to hot tubs, fabric softeners, my chirstmas tree, and even my own sweat. on top of that, my skin is superdry especially my hands since I do indoor rock climbing. So please pick me and my dry/allergyprone/chalk-covered skin!
ReplyDeleteHope to win to make my kids skin feel better about eczema :-) This might be the answer to their skin problem :-)
ReplyDeleteIt would be great for me because I actually have eczema and the winter is here causing havoc on my skin. The winter is when mine breaks out the most and it is already driving me crazy now! I have tried so many other things and nothing has worked yet. Thanks!
